Last night, as my children were hanging out down stairs, they all proceded to come runnin' and SCREAMING  up the stairs. They were all frantic!! They were yelling, "it's a snake, there's a snake in Teasha's room, There's a snake down stairs, we think it's a snake, it's sooo small!!!!" So, of course, Del nd I immediatley procede down the stairs.

O.K., well, before I finish or continue this story, I must go down a "little rabbit ttrail "for those of you that might come across my blog and NOT  know me. I ABSOLUTELY, POSITVELY DO NOT DO SNAKES. I know I live on a farm, however, since we have lived here, the Lord has been very gracious to me and has only alllowed me to see two and they were still cold and curled up WAY dawn in our horse fields and our house wasn't even built yet. Infact, the reason we sold our very first house is becasue our land was filled with snakes!! And, they got in our house!!! So, bad that one weekend I told my husband and father, me and our first child weren't coming home until I knew ALL the snakes were gone. And ya know what, we didn't come home until he and my dad tore the hosue up Hi and Low and th esnakes were gone. Mind you they were little tiny snakes no bigger than worms as my dad said, But I said I didn't care they were snakes. That is just ONE story of my dreaded snake experiences. So, back to my current event.

And, down the steps we go with all the kids pointing to what was a tiny " no bigger than a worm" SNAKE!!!!! It was in, not Teasha's room, but our nice new, finished family room in our basement!!! Agh!!!! Anyway, I was not happy to say the least. Where there is one BABY SANKE, THERE ARE MORE BABIES AND A MOMMA!!! I thought about all night and came up with that, our barn is not too far off from our house, and we store our hay in our lean-to on the side of the barn. I am gouing to make my husband and dad, ofcourse, this mornig search AGAIN hi and low until they resolve this snake issue. I called my mom immediatley last night and she said, "are you ready to move??"  I said, "Nah." I guess that's what a little LExapro does for you. I' m not making a joke, but I guess I am kinda. I don't near have the anxieties as bad as I used to before my medicine. Now, I can deal with things much better. I'm not as anxious this time although I did check my covers this time before I got into bed...Heehee. At least I still slept in my bed. So, off I go to get my little "slithery" children out of bed and then, to call my daddy to come over and help my husband search for the momma and her babies!!!! Wish Us luck and Please pray for no more snakes... I really don't want to sell this house .... WE LOVE OUR FARM!!!!

Well, remember the things I told you about Texas that you would LOVE? You would HATE the snakes. I haven't really seen any - but that is one of the first things that everyone tells you is that there are snakes here. When we put the contract on our house - we met the owner and as we were walking around the land, he said, "Are you familiar with snakes?" I thought - "as familiar as I want to EVER be" and he didn't even let me answer before he said, "There are snakes around here." Kendra and Kaitlyn went on a walk with a new friend they made in the neighborhood and they found a dead one - the country girl they were with picked it up with a stick and threw it into the woods. She proceeded to tell them, they better get used to that. I am thinking WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???? Could you send me a few of those Lexapro!? AHH!

Snakes are your friends....they just want love. You might find that you like them if you give them a chance. (fat chance, right?)
